This trip includes, Etosha Wildlife Park, The Skeleton Coast,

                 Our local guide is the incomparable Dr. Telane
                 Greyling, zoologist, rider, and expert on the
                 Namib horses. Her vast knowledge in this area
                 comes from a lifetime of studying the horses and
                 other wildlife, as well as being a partner in Namib
                 Horse Safaris. She is our driver and guide for the
                 entire trip as we travel in a luxury 4x4 stretch
                 vehicle.

Day 3 and 4 will also be spent at
                              Etosha National Park. Etosha
                              means “great white place” in the
                              Ovambo language and refers to the
                              ancient salt pans which dominate
                              the area. These vast pans and
                              savanna are traveled constantly by
                              wildlife coming and going from
                              grazing to water holes.
